Tap tap tap.
"Left!"
Tap tap tap.
"Left!"
Tap tap tap.
"right!"
On the practice field, Gao Wen was sweating profusely. He stood in the center of the service line, keeping his feet in a high-speed stance, and his center of gravity was ready to kick off the ground at any time. Then, under Sampras's command, he headed towards Move laterally to the left or right side, touch the outside line of the service area, return to the position as quickly as possible, and continue to wait for the next password.
The whole person is always in a state of readiness. The seemingly simple training puts forward very high demands on physical strength and energy, and requires a high degree of concentration.
Snap, snap, snap.
Sampras was still beating the beat with both hands, controlling the speed at which Gao Wen stepped in place. He could not maintain a uniform speed, but needed to disrupt the rhythm by going fast and sometimes slowly to ensure that quick reactions could be completed at different speeds——
This year's US Open, Kei Nishikori is indeed in a "crazy" state. The entire batting feel and shot belief can be felt from the inside out. There are many incredible fairy balls. Last night Raoni Qi had performed to the extreme, but still regretted missing out on victory.
I am afraid that in the next quarter-finals, the impact and threat brought by Kei Nishikori will be stronger than Wawrinka.
If Sampras analyzes objectively, Kei Nishikori does have a greater chance of winning.
But it is precisely because of this that Gao Wen's training enthusiasm is high today, and he is full of fighting spirit for the upcoming game tomorrow. The challenge is always worth looking forward to.
Tobias stood on the sidelines watching Gao Wen's training. Before going to watch Dimitrov's game, he made a special trip to see Gao Wen's condition——
It didn't disappoint.
As Gao Wen said, he did not lose himself because he achieved such good results in his first Grand Slam and was surrounded by the media's praise; he always remained awake and focused, placing himself in front of challengers. In position, be prepared to attack your opponent.
In the quarterfinals, whether facing Raonic or Kei Nishikori, Gawain needs to go all out without reservation, and there is no room for luck.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen put forward very strict requirements for his training. After the explosion and reaction training, he asked Sampras about his performance just now, and conducted a review and summary on the spot. After a short rest of 60 seconds, Started the second set of training again, striving for excellence and strict requirements on myself.
Seeing Gawain's sweaty appearance, as if he had just walked out of a sauna, Tobias couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes:
As expected of Gawain.
Sizzle.
The vibration of his mobile phone in his pocket interrupted Tobias's thoughts. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and then he showed a smile. It was Raonic's agent.
Unsurprisingly, Raonic did not leave Flushing immediately after the game last night, but came to watch Gawain train. Maybe he could give Gawain some first-hand information about Nishikori Kei, but why not Raonic? Did Onici contact Gawain, or did the agent contact the agent?
When Raonic appeared, he and his agent saw New Balance's brand representatives next to him, and the answer emerged.
Last night, after experiencing the battle between heaven and man, Tobias decided to stay put for the time being and continue to wait and see. However, this does not mean that nothing is done. Tobias still quietly released the news through his own channels, and the crocodile suddenly emerged. The news is released.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
It is conceivable that all major brands should stay up all night, discussing strategies and analyzing the current situation——
Should we continue to compete for Gao Wen's sponsorship contract? Can costs and benefits be directly proportional? If you are ready to give up, are there alternatives? If we continue to insist, how can the contract terms be made more competitive?
Seven hundred thousand dollars per year, what does such a benchmark mean to their respective brands? Can they come up with a higher number? If not, what conditions should be put forward to impress Gawain?
In fact, there is really no need to be so anxious about sponsorship and endorsements. You can wait until the end of the US Open, look at Gao Wen's final results and see Gao Wen's market impact, and then propose a cooperation agreement. This is obviously more rational and reasonable. Choice is the case for many brands that are waiting hard to sign Gao Wen.
One or two of them were ready and ready to go, but all of them were holding back for the time being.
The situation of sports brands is slightly special. After all, Gao Wen is currently wearing a UCLA uniform. If he can change into a certain brand of clothing for the next game, the influence will naturally be different; but the special effects are ultimately limited, and Tobias Never let go, which is why most sports brands are waiting to see what happens——
Everything will wait until the end of the US Open.
However, an unexpected situation broke the balance, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves. So one and two people got busy, swearing and convening an impromptu meeting to discuss the next plan. This was a grand occasion.
After dawn broke, Tobias had received contact testers from seven sports brands. Obviously, no one was willing to give up easily.
But obviously these seven companies are still not all. New Balance also firmly seized the opportunity. Even Raonic, who just lost last night, had no time to lick his wounds and was caught.
The New Balance representative did not disturb Gawain's training. He only showed his face for a moment and then accompanied him silently. Raonic chatted with Gawain and showed his attitude of being sincere and thinking about everything for Gawain. It was really impressive. , even Jiang Yanyun asked.
How about New Balance?
After dealing with Gawain's affairs, Tobias went to the training ground where Dimitrov was warming up before the game, and met an old friend from Nike there.
Nominally, they came to care about Dimitrov and expected Dimitrov to make a breakthrough at the US Open; in fact, their goal was Tobias.
Unlike Knox who hit the target with a straight punch, Nike and Tobias are already old friends.
In fact, Nike had initially provided Gao Wen with a sponsorship contract worth 80,000 US dollars per year, but Tobias thought the contract number was too small, so he did not agree; after defeating Isner in the first round of the US Open, Nike also A contract of 250,000 per year was proposed to show sincerity.
When it comes to intimacy and genuine gestures, Nike has always done well—
In any case, they are old friends with Tobias, and they have many aspects of cooperation with the IMG agency behind Tobias.
Therefore, when Nike came to look for Tobias today, it did not simply and rudely throw out an offer, but made a request that was not excessive but very excessive.
"No matter who it is or what the number is, just tell us and let us see if we are still competitive."
As expected of Nike, it is cunning and sophisticated enough.
